About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Energy Brief Today: Rising prices for natural gas are hitting more sectors

Energy Brief Today: Rising prices for natural gas are hitting more sectors

By Timothy S. Snyder, Matador Economics

Markets are still a bit nervous concerning the possibility of a recession in 2025. This is what drove prices in the markets yesterday. Hopefully it will be a better day today. Remember, we get CPI and PPI this week.

U.S. liquified natural gas producers are looking at increasing the delivery prices for our LNG, as rising costs for production are taking their toll. Not to mention the fact that natural gas prices have more than doubled since this time last year. The price on March 10, 2024 was $1.805 per mm BTU and yesterday’s closing price was $4.491 per mm BTU. 

If you look across the energy spectrum, crude oil prices have fallen since the beginning of the new year, as have gasoline and diesel fuel, while natural gas continues to climb. Feeding this rise in prices is increased demand, from a much colder than expected winter season and falling inventories for natural gas.

The inventory level this time last year was 2,325 billion cubic feet, billion cubic feet while last week’s total showed 1,760 bcf. Tighter inventories and higher demand are pushing the natural gas prices higher. This will affect more than just the cost of heating your home as natural gas is a big input cost for developing fertilizers for agriculture production! 

Last night’s EIA Report for on-highway fuel prices showed a slight trend lower for gasoline week/week, but a substantial drop in diesel fuel. Gasoline on a U.S. average fell .09 cents per gallon, while diesel fuel fell 5.3 cents per gallon. 

Concerns over recession are holding back demand, while threats of a recession loom. Real or not, market psychology has the markets tied up in potential risk. 

U.S. winter weather

Spring type weather is growing across the U.S., with warmer temps and very low probabilities for severe weather today. Wednesday through Friday the threat for severe weather grows and we’ll be watching! It’s kind of nice to have a mostly calm day.
